ABOUT ME I was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is where I currently live. I am married and have two children. I’ve lived in Hampton, Virginia, Angeles City in the Philippines, and various cities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I’ve been and apprentice electrician, a dental assistant, I’ve worked for American Airlines, in reservations, and as a Station Agent. I’ve opened my own business (a thrift shop), and I have a real estate license.
ABOUT ME I received an Associate of Science in Computer Science, with a certification in Web Design on May 10, 2014, from Southern University Shreveport (SUSLA), in Shreveport, Louisiana. I am now classified as a junior attending Louisiana State University at Shreveport (LSUS) in Shreveport, Louisiana, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Computer Information Systems. MY MOTTO: YOU CAN DO OR BE WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!

O The conceptual model provides the tools for conveying knowledge to the user to execute his tasks, and for assimilating this knowledge. O The mental model is used to perform tasks that were taught and tasks that were not originally encompassed by the conceptual model.

THE ERGO PROJECT
ABSTRACT Ergonomic professionals have a need to conform from paper to technology in order to save time and increase productivity. In this digital age of time technology, including mobile devices, in the work environment is essential to making a product better. A good comprehensible, anesthetically pleasing, efficient interface should be used to minimize complexity for the user. The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Tool Kit was created so that users with a range of experience in ergonomic analysis would be able to employ it to analyze task in a workplace for a variety of ergonomic risk factors. Improving the design and implementing a simple, anesthetic interface for mobile computing in our program, will allow the ergonomics useful success in the work place. The Tool Kit is comprised of 20 ergonomic assessment tools that can be used to analyze jobs for a variety of ergonomic risk factors. We have created the ERGOeasy project to better assist the ergonomic specialist in selecting which tool to use for risk assessment based on a given scenario. Our aim is to improve the current interface on the program that we have created.
